Lately, there’s been a swell of news regarding creative ways to help patients with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Some of these efforts are directed towards raising money for research; others assist a patient with personal medical expenses. Some endeavors are just about raising awareness and educating others. Regardless of your ultimate goal, such events can take on a wide range of forms these days. Below are a few examples to illustrate my point:

Keith Meyers is writing and directing “Fairy Tale Confidential,” a satirical play spoofing many beloved fairy tale characters. He beat NHL nine years ago and a portion of the play’s proceeds will go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Click here to read more.

I find it truly refreshing to see so many people contributing to NHL patients utilizing this vast array of talents. Whatever your abilities are, they can be applied towards fighting the collective battle against NHL, even if it only means cooking spaghetti.
